Hi. I'm a Japanese user of Affinity Designer only on iPad(6th gen, iPadOS14.7.1).
I noticed most of all the characters I put on my design were broken those are installed by AnyFont app (existing on AppStore).
Specifically those are Japanese free to use fonts.
However the issue seems only on designer 1.10.0, other apps seemed to be able to handle those fonts.
I could install some of the fonts directly on Designer and those were working.
Are those iPadOS issue or Affinity Designer's bug?
If those were bugs, are there any solutions?
thanks. 

I am also one of the members.

If I set UI style to Light, the icon of following buttons in "Stroke" panel is disappeared.
Place arrow whithin the line Place arrow at the end of the line Swap arrow head with tail Please check the attached screenshot.

Thank you to the whole team for what you do 🤗
I have already bought the three softwares, I'm only waiting for the next major versions.

Hello,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the first build of Affinity Designer 1.9.0 for macOS.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is significantly different from the 1.8.4 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous / future versions of Affinity Designer.
Thanks again for your continued support!
Many thanks!
Matt
 
Changes Since 1.9.0
- Contour tool.
- Select Same / Select Object functionality. I'm happy to consider requests for extra options, so if you have a favourite, just say...
- Improved performance with large documents. I will aim to improve this further over time.
- Added a new “Divide” blend mode.
- Allowed snapping to the bounds of the pixel selection.

Fixed.

Menu name Japanese is different between Mac and Windows. This hinders the creation of Japanese manuals and tutorials.
In principle, I want Windows to match Mac.

ver 1.8.5.703
Win 10 ver 1909
Exported images become smaller.
Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher have the same problem.
01. Create an artboard by using Affiniy Designer.
02. Import a photograph to the artboard.
03. The layer structure is like this.
04. Switch to Affinity Photo to use the live filter. 
05. Apply the noise reduction filter to the artbord.
06. Export the artboard.
07. This is the exported image. The photograph becomes smaller with a strange margin around it.
If I don't use the artboard, I won't get this problem.
(The description number is the same as the attached images.)
 

No worries ChildDream, I'm not a native english speaker either. Your report was perfectly clear. Thank you.

Hi @ChildDream,
Thanks for your report (it behaves the same way on macOS). I'm logging this to be looked at.
